Supply chain transparency is moving towards the centre of management obligations. Scope 3 emissions across a company's value chain typically account for 70-90% of its total carbon footprint, and remain among the most challenging to measure and manage. Pressure is growing from large industrial buyers, LNG shippers, utilities and key Asian and European markets for producers to measure, monitor and reduce emissions, deforestation and other impacts, from wellhead to burner tip, as well as to maximize benefits for project affected communities. Join us for a discussion about how operators across the value chain are working to mitigate these risks through technology, management and third-party assurance.
